Change TextView font after TextView is created programatically

Question

I created a grid of TextViews. It works but I would like to change the font of the TextViews (trying to use font awesome).

TextView created by following https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/android/user_interface/grid_view/

EDIT: (Solution) In the GetView() method in the link, I created a TextView named textview instead of an ImageView. In order to change the font I used the following:

Typeface typeface = Typeface.CreateFromAsset(Application.Context.Assets, "Fonts/FontAwesome.ttf"); textview.SetTypeface(typeface, TypefaceStyle.Normal);

Line 0 is different than the traditional, ypeface typeface = Typeface.CreateFromAsset(Assets, "Fonts/FontAwesome.ttf");

I needed to add Application.Context in front of Assets.

@GrayCygnus Sorta of. I wasn't sure how to access the Assets folder since this did not implement from an Activity. The main solution I was looking for was to have Application.Context. Assets, rather than just Assets. Thank you though! — srian
